Really good article countering the drivel that fucking arsehole Souness was chatting the other night. https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/ken-early-football-s-new-age-neutralises-philosophies-of-the-past-1.3874358?mode=amp

How can you charge someone with something they did before the rules you're accusing them of breaking applied to them?

Another no-show from Lionel Floppsi. Nearly as shit as Raheem Sterling.

40 year old bloke in full kit and woolly hat going mental on the internet.

Love that bloke, absolutely mental.

Thought it would be fairly simple, like it is with Sky/Now TV, to get a short term pass to watch the CL semi finals. Turns out the only way is to sign up for a 12 month contract with BT.

Anyone see the miss from Coman with the last kick of the Bayern game? Fuck me. Obviously it cost me forty bastard quid.

Which position does the xG take as the "chance"? Is it when Sissoko picks the ball up on the halfway line there's an 11% chance of scoring, or when he's about to swing his left foot at it with just the keeper to beat? Surely the "chance of scoring" changes with every second the play moves on? If it doesn't take into account the player on the ball, does it at least take into account that he's a right footed player in a left sided situation?

It's a real insult to Joselu to compare him with Riviere, the former's just a bit crap, the latter was absolutely hopeless.

I agree Mowen[/member]

Doubt that'll bother them much, they've only been doing so for the last 8 months. I don't think they mean the way you think, they want to play their youth team in Serie A at the expense of someone else. I see what you mean.

Cheers neesy, hadn't realised.

Today's 5Live Football Daily podcast is an interview with Rafa about the most important matches of his career.

not to mention that goal line clearance when they played each other Or the draw Vs man utd. TBF if Mahrez had scored his penalty, it might have been all over bar the shouting the other way.

Who are the pundits they have on air? Carragher for Liverpool, then is it Gary Neville for Man U? Who’s on for Man City? Genuine question (not a facetious one yet). They have Joe Hart in the studio Cheers. Bit surprised it’s Hart tbh - is he any good? Only as long as the person he's speaking to isn't down to his left.

Ahead of Liverpool? Almost certainly.

I'm on my worst run ever in terms of sheer bad luck. Almost every slip I put on loses by a single goal, totalling at least £500 over the weekend. Tonight's was an 11 fold needing 21 goals in total, obviously I got 20 and the other game had one disallowed late on. Also needed another Man Utd goal to win one slip and another City goal to win another.

Only a matter of time before the little clown starts ringing round asking if Becks and Giggsy are available for tonight.

Bloody love this.

As Jonathan Wilson always points out, this is just the way of the world now. For the first three years of OPTA stats (mid 2000s), there were a total of 3 games where one side had more than 70% possession, this season alone I think he said it's nearly 70 games.

Ledley King was 9 seconds Aye, Shearer was second after Carlo Nash booted it at him. https://www.premierleague.com/news/913611

Didn't take Shane Long to score.

Saints in front within 10 seconds, I think it's a new PL record actually.

The main thing I take away from seeing that table is that Eddie Howe is a total WANKER.
